Relativity can not be proven until we see an object traveling the speed of light squared.
Same reason that the science world for decades said we evolved from monkeys, when more recent evidence points to our simply being a different branch of the evolutionary tree.
When I was a child Dinoraurs were reptiles, TRex stood straght up, and was the strongest hunter that walked the planet.
Recent evidence says birds, standing would break its spine, and it was a huge vulture.

No, I don't have it backwards...lol... I think you misunderstood what I was addressing. I was addressing the fact that many people, if you ask them to prove there are ghosts will turn around and say "well, prove there aren't" as if that is a valid argument, which it is not.
I understand fully the scientific method and the fact that a theory is never actually proven. The beautiful thing about the scientific method is that it leaves things open to be challeneged and changed. The difference between science and a religion is that science is open to the challenge while religion allows no room for the challenge.
